Show Notes

Today we are kicking off the limited series ‘Going For It’, which celebrates this monumental time for women in sport as people are rightfully paying more attention to her and what lights her on fire. Leading into Paris, I am bringing conversations to the forefront from women who will be involved in the Games from all perspectives, from athletes to journalists to even your favorite peloton instructor. 

Kicking off the series Is Regan Smith, who made headlines in June when she set a new record in the 100m backstroke on her way to punching her ticket to Paris.
